I help businesses design digital products, platforms and engagement systems where user behavior, incentives, data and business goals line up.
My field is digital and market-facing: products, services, platforms, CX, CRM, loyalty, engagement, discoverability and AI.
I currently work as a Senior Strategist at VML, part of the global WPP network.
Bring me in when
- A platform or program needs to be built. The goal is clear, but the product logic, incentives and operating model are not.
- Users, customers or partners are not adopting what exists. The work is not more features by default. It is finding out why behavior is not changing.
- CX, CRM, loyalty or engagement efforts create activity, but not the right behavior. Experience only matters when it changes what customers do and helps the business.
- AI, data or discoverability need to become useful. Not as trend topics, but as parts of a product or business system.
How I work
- Start with the goal at the top. What should change in the market? What should users, customers, dealers or partners actually do?
- Find the real barrier. I look at behavior, incentives, assumptions, data, content, product mechanics and organizational reality.
- Design a buildable logic. I turn the problem into a clear product, platform or program concept that specialists can build from.

After-hours experiments
Small tools and prototypes that make ideas tangible. I use them to learn faster and test what technology changes in practice.
